• How many patients dropout during treatment with TE-ST?
Secondary outcome
• What change occurs in severity of psychiatric symptoms during treatment with
TE-ST?
• What change occurs in severity of symptoms of PDs?
• What change occurs in functioning in personality and daily life?
Background summary
Schema therapy has gained increasing attention during the last decade as an
effective form of treatment for personality disorders (PDs), mainly in treating
borderline PD. Schema therapy with a brief duration would be very welcome as
PDs are prevalent, ensuing is high and waiting lists are long. In clinical
practice Time limited Experiential group Schema therapy (TE-ST) is mainly used
for patients with symptoms of PDs or mild forms of PDs. TE-ST has not been
under study so far.
Study objective
In this multicenter prospective cohort study we will investigate the
feasibility of TE-ST.
Study design
Within-subject design with five assessments among patients participating in
TE-ST.
Intervention
Time limited Experiential group Schema therapy
Study burden and risks
There are no risks associated with this study since it consists of self-report
questionnaires in adjunct to a treatment that is applied in clinical practice.
The burden consists of filling out questionnaires at five time points. All
measurements will have a duration of approximately 30 up to 45 minutes each.
